Hanging with my Gnomies

 Hello. Tracy Shultz, The Hopeful Crafter here with you to share a holiday card.  Today I have a cute card that features two stamps from Technique Junkies. But, before I give you the details on my card, I need to remind you that today, December 15, 2021 is the last day for the Technique Junkies Inventory Reduction Sale.  Over 200 stamps have been reduced to 35% off plus you can use my code: TJ10Tracy to save an additional 10%  Here's a link to the inventory reduction page: https://techniquejunkies.com/december-inventory-reduction-sale/

The card that I made features the Hanging with My Gnomies Stamp (SD1015) which I colored with red and green Karin markers. I colored the beards with Aqua Shimmer and trimmed with the Deckle Trimmer. I used a domed foam blending tool to ink blend Spruce Catherine Pooler ink along the deckled edges. Technique Junkies now sells Catherine Pooler inks. The background stamp is Baubles (S713), which I stamped with Spruce and Rouge Catherine Pooler Inks. I ink swiped the card base with Catherine Pooler Spruce Ink, thus creating a perfectly matched mat layer.

Dear Santa

 Hello Friends!


I'm up on the Technique Junkies blog to share a fun card, using some great stamps from Technique Junkies.



The stamping was done, and the image was colored with Copic markers. A bit of Glossy Accents was used on nose, toes, and eyes.  The Shining Star stencil was then used to accent the background. I used another stamp from the sentiment set listed above to give the envelope a bit of 'happy'!

So glad you stopped by today!

Don't forget!!! You can always save 10% on your orders by entering TJ10Patti at checkout.


Be sure to head over to the Technique Junkies store and do a little crafty shopping!

Hugs and smiles,
Patti J.

Technique Junkies Inventory Reduction Sale

 


Happy Wednesday! Pam here and I took a break from Christmas and decided to create with one of the stamps in our inventory reduction sale. This stamp is called Key Script and it is perfect for the collage person! I used the color challenge from splitcoaststampers.com CC873 from Tuesday which was mint macaron, blushing bride and crumb cake. I stamped it on watercolor paper using my Misti. Next, I used my markers in these colors for the mint and blushing bride and then swiped the crumb cake pad around the edges and then spritzed water on entire paper and dried with heat tool. My sentiment is from Lighthouse Sentiments (not in sale). To finish it off I added some burlap and a gold dragonfly. Check out the inventory reduction sale here for a total of 45% off when you use my code TJ10Pam. A 10% discount will be applied to items not in the sale.

Here Comes Santa Claus!!

 



 

There are no new Technique Junkies for December, but look for new stamps on January 1, 2022.   However, I will be posting at least twice a week in December.   And if I have used Technique Junkies stamps or items, I will let you know.  

😀And this is a spectacular announcement from Technique Junkies.  There is an ANNUAL INVENTORY REDUCTION SALE -- beginning TODAY!  Look here for all the details and which stamps are on sale.  Perhaps some of your favorites will be among the stamps and other items on sale.   ðŸ˜ƒ

I used several Technique Junkies stamps and stencils to create this card.  The stamps are Santa in Moonlight and Merry Christmas to all.   I used the lovely Skyline Edger stencil at the bottom. You can see how Pat Huntoon used these stencils here. It is a video tutorial.  I used a stencil on the moon to give it some shadows. I used ink blending brushes to apply ink to the background.    I spritzed the sky with Dazzle Shimmering Bliss Topper.  

Any Technique Junkies purchase, not already on sale, will be able to have 10% off when you use TJ10Judy in the coupon box when you check out!   However, you CAN use TJ10Judy to get a 10% reduction even on the Inventory Reduction items on sale!!




Have a wonderful day preparing  for the Christmas season!  Be sure to get inky during this season!
